The percent of increase or decrease i. this irem

Nikolay [14]

Since the price is going down, it's going to be a percent decrease. Now to find the percent, we divide the "after" price by the "before" price.

240 / 320 = 0.75 = 75%

The item had a 75% decrease.

Question in picture A) 16/63 B)-16/63 C) 63/16 D) -63/16

Orlov [11]

ANSWER
$\tan(x + y) = - \frac{63}{16}$

EXPLANATION

We were given that,

$\csc(x) = \frac{5}{3}$

This implies that,

$\sin(x) = \frac{3}{5}$

We use the Pythagorean identity

$\sin^{2} (x) + \cos^{2} (x)= 1$
to get,

$\cos(x) = \sqrt{1 - ( { \frac{3}{5} })^{2}} = \frac{4}{5}$

We were also given that,

$\cos(y) = \frac{5}{13}$

This means that,

$\sin(y) = \sqrt{1 - {( \frac{5}{13}) }^{2} } = \frac{12}{13}$

This is because,

$0 < \: x \: < \frac{\pi}{2}$

$0 < \: y \: < \frac{\pi}{2}$

This angles are in the first quadrant so we pick the positive values.

$\tan(x + y) = \frac{ \sin(x + y) }{ \cos(x + y) }$

$\tan(x + y) = \frac{ \sin(x ) \cos(y) + \sin(y) \cos(x) }{ \cos(x) \cos(y) - \sin(x) \sin(y) }$

$\tan(x + y) = \frac{ \frac{3}{5} \times \frac{5}{13} + \frac{12}{13} \times \frac{4}{5} }{ \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{5}{13} - \frac{3}{5} \times \frac{12}{13} }$

$\tan(x + y) = - \frac{63}{16}$

The correct answer is D
